Chasing Heroine: Addiction Recovery and Sobriety

Meet the fierce Southern Mama behind the phone number any addict can call and use drugs while someone listens live to make sure the addict LIVES with Jessie B of Never Use Alone

27 Apr 2023

Description

Today Jeannine interviews Jessie B of the organizations Never Use Alone and 229 Safer Living Access. Jessie B is in long term recovery from opiate addiction and was inspired by her child's addiction to begin harm reduction outreach in her area. Her impact has now extended far beyond Albany, Georgia now as with Never Use Alone anyone in North America may call the number to use while someone is live on the other end, checking in to make sure the person using doesn't become unresponsive. If the person does become unresponsive, NUA contacts medical services for the person. With 100,000 phone calls recorded and 97 overdose saves, NUA is enabling human beings living with substance use disorder to have a better quality of life - no matter WHAT.
